The room was not large, but thoroughly comfortable and wellâ€"furnished, and the bookshelves that lined its walls were stocked with good old authors in sober bindings. This apartiment was Mr. Lawâ€" ford‘s favourite winter retreat ; here he Richard Westyn was fortyâ€"nine, but he wes always "my lad" with Mr. Lawford. "Is it really you, Richard?" he. sud. "Who would have thought of secing you on such a bitter night as this 2« But I‘m very gladâ€"very glad indeed, myâ€"lad." n Unannounced, he went straight into the lighted room, where the master of the house was sitting in an armâ€"chair by the firs. ‘As Richard entered,the old man slowly turned his head, and then shaded Ius eyes with his hand. . In summer, when the chestuut avenue was in leaf, and the lilacs and . laburnums were in. flower, Eden Hall was a very paraâ€" dise of sweets. â€" Then the hall door geneâ€" rally stood open, and the threshold was often strewn with petals, and swept by soft breezes. Now, the frout of the large house was dark and silent; only one window in that long range was aglow with cheerful light, and the place was so still that Richard‘s riog seemed to make a startling clamour. _A staid womanâ€"servant answerâ€" ed his summons, and received him as a familiar guest. and moaning in the barg boughs overhcad, and the ground was qhe‘,g,q‘orodAwith . wild black shadows, writhing and shifting in the moonlisht. He passed the beautiful old marketâ€"cross, and made his way into the suburbs of the city. ‘The walk was not long ;.and yet, when ho stopped at last. before the gate of an oldâ€"fashioned househe was faint and spent, and almost ready to seek rest in the little pepperâ€"box lodge, before going farther. ‘ But he pressed on, wearily, up the avenue, while the wind. made. a dismal creukiug‘ | CHAPTER I.â€"PAID IN FiBL, 'l The tall spire of ‘Campwick Cathedral | looked white and ghostly in the moonshine 'lof a sharp January night. A keen wind was whistling through the streets, driving ' the citizens to the shelter of their homes, } vntil the causeways were nearly deserted. : But one man, well protected by great coat | and wrapper, went slowly past the iron | railings of the eathedral yard, and paused for a few seconds at its gates. ;. Choristers were practising within the | grey walls ; now and again a faint strain } would come drifting out solemnly into the hightâ€"air. Just then, the wind was Inlled, ] and the bursts of melody grew louder ; and | Richard Westyn, listening there in the eold, | could distinguish the notes of an old tune l that he had sung many and many a time in his boyhood. â€" Tears were gathering in hifs eyes as he walked on at a quicker pace, saying half aloudâ€" | "The toues of old homes mixed with heaven, The dead and fiie angels speak there." 1 It is a great truth that a man may ris> on the steppingâ€"stone of his Dead Self ;â€" an evil and foclish Self, slain in a brave fight. â€" But is it not also true that hé someâ€" times carries about with him the corpse of « former Self, which is a burden instead of a steppingâ€"stone 2 The,. noble past may shame the ignoble present ; the Dead Self may have been a thousand times worthier than the Self which is living. This was the case with Richard Westyn. Those few solemin notes had awakened in him a bitter regret for the days when h had been another kind of man,. They reâ€" minded him of the shameful mastery cf evil over good, and bade him look within, and see the results of the conquest. Those results might have been outwardly seen too ; a few years ago Ric}mrd could have faced the January wind more boldly thau he was doing this night. But now, in spite of greatâ€"coat and wool‘en comforter, he flinched at every blast that sung in his "I hold it truth with him who sings To one cloar harp in divers toncs, That men may rise, on stoppingâ€"stoncs Of their dead selves, to higher things." Let us resch into our bosoms For the key to other lives, And with love toward erring nature Cherish good that still survives ; So that when our dis »rdered spirits So ar to realms of light above, We may suy . "Dear Fathor, love us, L‘en us we huve shown our love." If we knew the silent story. . 6 Quivering through the heart of Piin, Would we drive it with our coldness Back to huunts of,vice agnin.? Life hath many & tangled crossing, Joy hath muny a break of woe ; But the cheeks tearâ€"washed are whitest Kept in lie are flawers of snow. If we knew the clouds above us Held but gentle blessing there, Would we turn away all trembling, In our blind and weuk despair? Would we shrink from little shadows Flitting o‘er the dewy grass, 1f we knew the birds of Eden Were in nierey flying past® If we knew the cares and crosses ~ Crowding round our neighbor‘s way If we knew the little losses, Sorely grievous, day by day, Would we then as often chide him * ®or his lack of thrift and gain, Leaving on his heart u shadow, Leaving on our minds a staili 2 A Story of Our Enner Life. BY SARAN DOUDXNEY, POETRY DURHAM, Co. Grey, MAY 1, 1879 Is Mrstortax "I deserve the reproof, my lad," said the old brewer kindly. . "It vexed me for a minute, Richard, to think that you chafed under a sense of obligation which I never wished you to feel." Mr. Lawford did count them, slowly and silently ;â€"forty fiftyâ€"pound Bank of Engâ€" land notes. â€"There was an inkstand on the table, and a blottingâ€"pad and paper lay beside it ; still in silence he took up a pen, and wrote a formal receipt. "Such friendships were better â€"ended than keptalive! Why, Mr.. Lawford, do you really think my attachment to you eannot survive my need of your aid ?" "As to your kindness and generosity, Mr. Lawford, you know what I feel about that; â€"a great deal more than I can say. But I could not bear to keep «the money any longer. Piease count the notes, and give me a roccipt." "I have known friendships end with the payment of a debt," he said, as he handed it to Richard. "The debt was a trouble to me," Richard answered ; "it was all the heavier burden because you lent me the money. witkout secunity, and wouldâ€"take no interest. I have had no windfall;â€"and you know that the journal was a dead failure." His voico trembled a little as ho spoke. Richard Westyn was a proud man, and is was heard to speak of a dofeas. "Two thousand pounds paid all at once ! Either you have terribly crippled yourself, my lad, or you have had a windfall. What need was there for this 2"â€" p ‘ He put his hand into his breastâ€"pocket and produced a leather pocketâ€"book from which he took out a packet of bankâ€"notes. The ‘old â€"man‘sseyes Jiad ~wpened againi wearily, but at the sight of that littl@opacket he looked startled«and troubled. f "What does this mean, Richard ?" he asked, reluciantly takingâ€"thom. > "Please count them; Mr. Lawford You will find two thousand pounds there." He elosed his eyes for a moment, and Richard glanced wistfully at the tace that looked strangely white against the darkâ€"red background of the cushioned chair,â€" "The losses are sure to come with the gains," said Richard sadly. "Ay, and the gains with the losses," answored the old man, with a sudden bright look. â€" "Thare will be nothing precions to leave when I go ; and my good things are waiting for me in the next life. It‘s just that thought that keeps me so quiet and bright ;â€"I‘m very bright toâ€"night, my lad, although T â€"am a bit confused between the present and the past. Sometimes an old man can hardly tell who is left here, and who has gone on to paradise:"" .« ; "Mr. Lawlord," he said, "I have not yet told you what has brought me out toâ€"night. Here is the reason.‘ «. have been looking at you, Richard, as you used to be," he continued. "Do you remember how you came into my littke shopâ€"parlour to talk over the wrongs of the peopls, and your own in particular? And others canre too in those daysâ€"good, trme f:llows, all of them ! I wish I could see them all again in the flesh, but that isn‘t likely, is it 2 I wonder what has become of them all 2" ‘ _ "Seattored far and wide," said Westyn. | } "I don‘t think one of them ever got inte qparliameat." "Well, parliament would havre been none the worse for them. But they had their work to do it the world, Richard, although | perhaps they didn‘t do it in the plase they f had marked out for themselves. We don‘t always know what we‘re fit for ; but (:‘mdf doesâ€"you may be sure of that. We are | mighty fond of trying to force ourselves into niches that were never made for us. Well, well,the lads are seattored,as you say ; and here am I, a riely brower, alone in ambig house, while Nelly and tho cluldren are iu.«1 their graves !" "It was not that," _ Richard gazed anxiously at him for a i moment. Fancy had not deceived him ; thore certainly was an indescribable change in Mr. Lawford‘s face. He had never looked so dignified as he did that night. In the eariy days, when Richard had first known him, he had been a rugged man of the lower middle class ; clever, shrewd, and kindly by nature. But mnow, all the old roughnesses were smoothed away, and | instead of the shrewdness there was that dreamy look which added tenderness nnd’ refinement to the countenance. He did not seem to care to know what had brought| Mr. Westyn to Eden Hall, but went on rambling about the faces he had seen iu[ the fire. i *"Can you guess what has brought me here, Mr. Lawford ?2" he asked, trifling with an ivory paperâ€"cuttet is he spoke. Perhaps a close observer might have seen at once that le had something of importance to say, and did not know how to say it ; but the old man saw nothing of this. â€" He had turned towards the fire again, and was leaning back in his chiir. â€" + > "I don‘t care to gness what has brought you, Richard," he said. "Anyhow, I‘m glad to see you ; for if the truth must be told,I was fast getting lost in & mist. When 4 fian takes to seeing faces in the fire, and hearing voices that have beemsilent for years, it is a sign that he needs to be led back to real‘ties." & o Aur I would sit, evening after evening, with his pet volitmeson the table beside ritm.. But toâ€"night, although the books lay close to his elbow, they were unopened ; and it struck Richard that there was something unusually dreamy in his look azd tome. returned Westyn i "True evnough, ma‘am ; theâ€"milkman brought the news. They say the old gentleâ€" man must have gone off in his sleep, as quite as alamb. I‘mijafraid it will be a shock to master." "He must nut be informed of it suddenâ€" ly," said Margaret, moving towards the diningroom. * & t The cloth was laid, and china cups and saucers reflected the cheery firelight. She "Oh, ma‘am such a sad thing has hapâ€" poned!" began Deborah, in a whisper. "Poor old Mr. Lawford has been found dead in his bed." ""Who told you this ?" hor mistress askâ€" ed. "Are you sure it is true ?" Margaret and her..children : wore . early risors. ‘There were Olive and Philip to be sent off to sehool, and thare was Daisy the fiveâ€"yearâ€"old pet of the family, to be washâ€" ed and dressed. â€" Richard had acquired the halbit of breakfasting in his own room, and seldom . appeared till eleven or twelve oclock. â€" He was still sleeping when his wite came down, and was met at the foot of the stairs by her old servant. We liave all had quite enough fi@n for toâ€"vught," said her faithful Bridget, coming «to her aid. "The clock will strike nine in a few minutes; and you must hbe going to bed, Philip;â€"yes, and Olive too, if she wants to keep her roses," addod the eldest sister artfally, knowings that .this â€" gugiesâ€" tion would have weight. . +. «+*+* * . \In@ little whileâ€"the two noisy ones had gone«to "their > respective chambers, and Mrs. Westyn sat down »to: ‘supper with Bridget and Edua. It was a Apjet qucal ; the girls say that their mother®was sad, and hoth.wondered â€"when « the . household cloud would show its silyer liniug 2.

She knew, only too well that fathei‘s going out had been hailed as a domestic holiday,and that Philip had not serupled t> whaop and halloo for very joy when the hall doer had closed behind the head of the family. True, he had given no definite reason for those noisy demonstrations of delight ; but none was needed. _ Margaret was quite aware that the boyâ€"nature #as exulting in its temporaty freedom from restraint, and she could not help sympathizing with her son. â€" Oh it was so hardâ€"so very liard to feel the wifely and the motherly love fight. ing against each other ! a Here Edna, the socond daughter; gave way to an irrepressible little iggle at th remembrance of her own blunders. â€" An< even Bridget; sedate maiden of twentyâ€"tw bit her lips to keep in the titter that was ready to break ont. Mrs. Westyn looked at theme all, fondly and sadly. Her herrt owned that it was hard to repress wholeâ€" some mirth ; but with that querulous inâ€" make such capital mistakes ! She thinks about other things, you see, and then gives the most absurd answers ever heard." "Oh, mother, let us just finish this game," the boy pleaded. "it‘s earth, air, and water, you know ; and Edna does Olive, aged thirteen, and Philip, a lad of eleven, were not disposed togive up laughâ€" ing all at onee. They had prepared their lessons for the morrow, and wanted to have as much fun as possible before bedâ€" fime. .. **We did not hear father come marked Bridget, the eldest girl, i of apology. "Oh, hush, my dears !" said pobr Mre. Westyn, searcely in time to check another outburst. ""Why am I to be pestered by that abomi nable noise ? Tt is strange that you can not succeed in keeping order, Margaret 1" He yielded, going straight upâ€"stairs to his own chamber, while the mother went into the diningâ€"room to silence the busy tongues there. Just as she opened the door, a burst of merry laughter came pealing‘out into the Tall ; a sound that most people would have found far from unpleasant. But in the next moment Richard Westyn‘s vorce called sharply downâ€"stairsâ€" <‘She was far too wis# to make a retort ; moreove?, sh* had long been learning one of the last lessons that Love has to teach â€"pati¢nce, â€" She said a few commonplace words on other matters,and then persuaded her busband to retire to rest.

Frey, brakesman on the Grand Trunk Railway, was killed Thursday afternoon between Tavistock and Stratford. It apâ€" pears Frey was on a special train from Stratford, standing on the platform of the last car, and when passiug the Port Dover Railroad Jiis aitention was attracted by some persons on that train waving a handâ€" kerchief, He leaned over to see who it was, holding the railing of his car. While leanâ€" ing over a side bridge struck him on the back of the head killing him, instantly. His remains were. teken to his parents‘ residence. . A f\Ipxhnhis,'l‘uriin, despatch say : This "¢ity Jias beon thrown into an intense state of excitenient over the arrival of Captain Paul Boynton, after a run of 250 miles, Whrough a wild stretch of the Missippi Rivâ€" er. Al'gI‘}nere being no telegraphic stations on the route, the people had to rely until now apon the steamboats for any news of the traveller, Captain.Boyton started from Cairo, m., at ten a. m., on the Oth inst., nnd,__."qpiga !ggrgc,numhcr of skiffs, paddleâ€" ed into the Missiâ€"sippi, whose swift current soon bore Lim oui of sight.. He was acâ€" companied by his little boat "Raby Mine," Avhich was laden with medicines, provisions aind cigars. He took no whiskey along, as he is conyineed that its stimulating power is not equal to the injuty it does his sysâ€" tem. | The first run was the longest of the voyage, from Cairo to cottonwood Point, Mo., a distance of 180 mailes, which he ncâ€" complished in 32 hours, arriving at six p.m. Taesday, â€" From Cottonwood the start was made at two a. m. Thursday, and after a run through a terrific storm, for twenty. eight hours arrived at Bradley‘s Ark., at half past five p. m. Thursday, Aft=r a night ofrest, the Captain started at halfâ€" past twelve on the 11th, and after some lively pad@ling arrived in Memphis at a quarterâ€"past four p.m. His entry to the eity was one of the granbest ovations he has received on the voyage. Inher hurry she tipped over her playâ€" things, tumbled bead foremost, and burst into a hearty rom#; The diningâ€"reom door epened quickly, and Bridget came out to take instaunt posscssion of ‘the luckless Daisy. : 5 He did not leave his room until the winter daylight was beginning to fade ; and then he came feebly dow nâ€"stairg, wearing his favorite indoor garment, a warm, wadded dressing gown of an Orientâ€" al pattern. .. It was a pitcous sight to see this man, who ought to have been in his prime, patiering with slow steps towards his study, and shivering as ho went. â€" His youngest girl, at play with a bal. at the foot of the stairs, made haste to get out of his way. > > ~ The wife went quictly away to hide her tears, Whose fault was it that Richard Westyn‘s world was so cheerless ? Truly, there had not been withheld from him anyâ€" thing that was good. "James Lawford dead !" he said, again and again. â€" "He was my bet friend ; I never loved any man so well. I think he must have had a foreshadowing of this, Margaret, when he saw the old faces and heard the old voices. Well, he has left me in a cheerless world !" In spite of all her care and tenderness, the blow fell heavily. She could not blind hersell to the fact that even a slightor shok than this would have had a disastrous efâ€" fect upon him. . He was so weak and shattered that all power of bearing up under sorrow wis gone. Mrs. Westyn went up to her room, and broke the news as possible. The others came in at this moment, and heard the news with grave faces. The kind old man had been dear to them all ;â€"dearâ€" er, perhaps, because they were the only friends he had ever made in Campwick. With many other people he had been on excellent terms; but the Westyns alone were admiited to closs intimacy. _ Even Daisy realized the family loss, and almost forgot to resist when the obnoxiou pinafore was tied over the searlet frock. "Has fatherâ€"I mean, do we owe him anything?" whispered Bridget, hesitating and flushing, as a sudden fear crossed her mind, + "No 4 thank God, your father went last night to Eden Hall, und paid the dobt in full." .
